The Healthy Nuts: Almonds

Almonds

Almonds have the most calcium of any nut, a lot of vitamin E, and heart-healthy fat. They also keep the gastrointestinal tract in balance. "They're a more manly version of yogurt," says dietitian Julie Upton. We like the Blue Diamond brand, which has recipes at bluediamond.com.

When to grab a handful: Whenever. Almonds are considered one of the healthiest nuts.
